Physiotherapy treatment for your back pain

The goal of physiotherapy is to provide relief from the symptoms, normalise joint and soft tissue mobility, and establish an effective exercise program that works for you. During the examination, your physiotherapist will evaluate the progression of symptoms, mechanism of the injury, posture and assess prior level of function.

A physical examination will assess the range of motion of your spine and extremities, strength, symmetry and tension signs.

Treatment may involve hands-on therapy including massage and joint mobilisation. Stretching exercises may be recommended to help gain mobility, and your physio will advise you on posture correction, strengthening and core stability conditioning.

Our aim is to return you to normal daily activities as soon as possible.
